The experience was valuable for the studentsand was favorably reviewed during student course feedback. The project, however, took 1-2weeks of effort and resulted in some loss of 1st semester course content. The 2nd semester designinstructor reported no loss of content and was pleased with the overall result. TAMU's test of the SE Design concept on their control station design course producedunexpected benefits.

The course includes lectures and four "hands-on" experimental labmodules that enable students to explore mechanical, chemical, and electrical systems in teams of2-3 students. In addition, students complete a fifth project, called the “Choice Project,” in whichthe students are asked to design their own experimental investigation, different from the onescompleted, using the knowledge and equipment from the four required experiments. Usually,teams extend one of the required projects for the Choice Project, for example, doubling theenergy production from a fuel cell. The Choice Project was replaced by the Grand

Thecourse presents a variety of topics that attempt to integrate perspectives from multipledisciplines, which is a common charge for many core curricula. An increase in the diversity (byacademic discipline) of students enrolled in the course would also likely help to better integratethe course perspectives. As such, the next challenge in course development may be to take thecourse to a broader audience to see if results similar to those described in this paper can beachieved.Another possible area of study for the course outcomes is to break the students down by
